I can no longer look at the game’s name with a straight face or without a guilty conscious. The “L” in “Flag” magically disappears on me when thinking about or reading the name. I have a split second’s hesitation whenever I type the name now, to make sure the Flag is Flag and not Fag. I avoid saying the full name, and simply refer to it as “AC4” to avoid the possibility of saying the fag part.

Such is the power of the terrible typo.

Has the name of something ever been tainted for you? By a simple typo, or mispronunciation, or brain fumble. In an instant, it changes everything right? Suddenly, Mass Effect has become Mass Defect. Kane & Lynch is Kanye & Lynch. Batman is Barman. Left 4 Dead is Left 4 Dad. What about Halo: Beach? Or Fallout: New Vegan. Pants VS Zombies. What if BioShock was BioSock to you? Would you be okay with Cattefield 3? Bordersands isn’t right. What if you were haunted by Cunter Strike?

You know what the scary part is? If you’re reading this, these names may get tainted for you too.

In some way doesn’t that make me evil? Maybe. So why am I doing this? Well apparently I’m evil. Or as they say: some people just want to watch the world burn.

Azhar.. I never thought u would write an article about ur typo.. :) Funny one.. But yeah.. I admit that i’ve made the same typo’s while exchanging text msgs…Battlefield was never Cattlefield though. Barman..was thr.. But pls.. Bioshock as Bio SOCK… Atrocious!!! :P
